ipa

Hi. I started my latest brew yesterday: Kveik IPA. I was told that the yeast is very lively - a friend of mine brewed this IPA before, and fermentation only took 2 days. I imagine mine will take at least a week When I do transfer to my corny, what pressure should I keep it at? Anyone have any...

Hi all, I’m new to home brewing, just making my first brew using the Merseyside dockers ipa kit. There’s something that’s confusing me though and I would appreciate any advice. The instructions say to ‘add the foil bag of hops as below; Group A on day 5 Group B on day 8 Group C on day 10...

Okay so I've made a Triple 10% New England IPA BIAB as my second brew ever. I know I know I went in at the deep end but go big or go home! I just thought I would keep a record of any change in colour and oxidation on here and if you're interested just follow along. Ask me any questions! The...

Hi guys, I am new to this community as well as the whole brewing adventure! I bought the St Peters IPA brew kit as my first venture into home brewing. I made a few mistakes which I will detail out here and hope some of you could provide some tips/advice. First of all, I made a very bad mistake...

Hi Guys! So, I have been mooching around on this forum for a while as I have been getting to grips with AG brewing. I have done just over 10 AG batches now and I am getting to a point where I want to start experimenting with it a little with hopping. So, I decided to make a celebration beer...

Hello. I just wondered if anyone had any ideas/advice/recipes on how to brew an all grain West Coast style IPA with a good amount of bitterness and hop flavor that would still taste great when not so fresh? I'm expecting my first child in April so am likely going to have to wind down on the...

I'm going to be making my second brew, and I'm using LME kits to start out and experiment with what facilities I have at home. I want to know if my plan is sound or not, I'm still pretty clueless at what I'm doing. I grabbed a £12 IPA kit from my local Wilko when I went out to get a hydrometer...

Hello all - very new here and looking for some advice. I want to do my first all grain brew. Out of preference I would like to make it as close to an IPA as possible and not too weak. There are some awesome looking recipes out there but as it is my first AG I wanted to keep it simple and if...

Hi, hoping for some advice, background below- Second brew, bought grains but they all came mixed in a single bag. I poured them into my kettle and noticed it was basically full and I had a lot left. Weighed it, I had I had 6kg left! Something was very wrong with my grain order. I think the max...

Hi everyone, I'd be grateful on your thoughts on this: Golden Promise: 71% Munich: 12% Carafa Special III: 9% Caramunich III: 8% Hops I'm currently thinking: Tettnang as bittering hop with a bit of Bramley Cross for about 30 mins and then Bramley Cross dry hopping. I'd quite like to get some...

Hi, This may be openeing a can of worms, or it may even be an opinionated thing rather than a fact, but what actually makes a new england IPA (NEIPA) a NEIPA? From what I can find, it seems to be a mixture of; 1. Oats/wheat in the grist, 2. Biofermentation hop 3. No bittering additions 4...

Hi, just wondering if anyone can help with this: I have brewed 3 or 4 different part grain kits usually IPA or American Pale ale types. They always come with about 3kg of liquid malt. I want to reduce the amount of extract to only one kg of liquid malt, so how much extra grain should I use...

Hi there, I have a pile of hops in the freezer including a packet of Sorachi Ace. I've never used them before and tbh I haven't really enjoyed beers I've had thst use SA. I don't want to do a Saison or lighter lager which a lot of forums and homebrewers recommend. I have a range of malts in...

I seem to be the king of low alcohol beer! I have just brewed the “Make Your Own American IPA” from the Range. It started fermenting (quite aggressively) within a day. I left it for approx 14 days until I added the hops and at 21 days I tasted it. The instructions say that you can bottle...

Hi there, For my "Getting away from the in-laws for a day between Christmas and New Years" brew this year I am planning to use the packet of Nelson Sauvin hops I have in the freezer. I've never used actual hops and not pellets before so thought it was a good occasion to try it. And I have...

Hi there, I've got something I want to try. I've brewed a few pale ales that have been pale malt to about 75-80% of the bill, then 15-20% of Vienna or Munich and 5% carapils. I've also done a couple that are about 75% pale then a combination of melanoidin, caramunich III (crystal 60ish) and...

Hi, I had a brew day yesterday and forgot to add my Protafloc tab at 15min and panicked and put it in when at the whirlpool when the wort was 95c and gave it a good stir. Will this have any negative affect on the beer as it should of been added in the boil?

Hi All, After a few months of thinking about it I've decided to give home-brewing a go, this post is probably going to be long but I'd like to give as much info to people as possible in case anyone has any feedback for me, I've spent a lot of time watching videos and reading but still feel like...
